Now, if only we could get Congressional Dems to
ALLOW US to get to work on Colorado Oil Shale!
It appears as though Dems HATE to see Americans with JOBS!
Millions are out of work.
Yet Dems continue to bow to their religious cult
rather than create even MORE good paying jobs!
THROW THE BUMS OUT!

SBVOR, you've committed one of the classic data presentation sins - starting the Y axis above zero. You don't need to cook the books. A doubling in employment speaks for itself. No need to make it look like a quadrupling...
Steamboat Lion,
I agree. But, you’ve aimed your arrow at the wrong target.
Click the image, view the data source and tell it to the St. Louis Federal Reserve.
Investigate before you falsely accuse!
Which just goes to show, never trust the Feds!
Humblest apologies. All your other graphs make the point that you created them personally, so I just assumed (which of course I shouldn't have.)
My bad!
Steamboat Lion,
Apology accepted.
Some graphs are mine, some are not. And, there are occasions where a Y scale starting somewhere other than zero is more appropriate (such as when seeking to illuminate the differences in multiple series). When charting a single series, starting at zero is usually more appropriate (and I usually do).
